"I know, you must say that these people are no different from monkeys. This can actually be explained."
Song Siyuan coughed lightly and continued to educate everyone about this special phenomenon: "The human language center will degenerate if it is not used for a long time. After these children were abandoned, they were all exposed to this old female monkey. After being fed by it, they grew up." , do not understand human language at all, and the sounds they make are no different from apes. Although they are humans, they are actually genuine monkeys. They also think that they are no longer humans but monkeys, and they will not be able to return to human society even if they return to human society. adapted,"
She paused and continued: "I guess the water monkeys here are actually the fur babies they found nearby during the Li and Tang Dynasties. They were adopted by female monkeys and became the first generation of water monkeys. The people of Li and Tang must have used Xianbei The secret technique of the pig beast used Gu seedlings on these people, turning them into breathing with their gills and having webbed fingertips, which is what we see now."
"These people have been staying here since they grew up. They don't even know that they are human beings. They have been reproducing as water monkeys and surviving to this day. At the same time, they use such monkeys to protect the ghost gate. This also explains "Why did they attack us and those moose? It was all instigated by this old monkey to make them lose their humanity and get along with the beasts."
These words made everyone feel enlightened. They looked at these water monkeys again and felt that they were pitiful. For nearly a thousand years, they did not know that they were human beings and only lived and reproduced as monkeys. This was more or less a rough fate.
"If we kill these monkeys, we will put an end to their suffering. They will be treated like beasts for generations, and we don't know how long they will suffer. It is indeed unreasonable for Li Tangren to gather these little beasts to do such a thing. Wait until we enter." Smashing their palaces in the underground palace can be regarded as revenge for these poor people.
After Yue Guanchao finished speaking, Xu Xiake put away his sword, took out his own Qiankun Circle, held the double circle in the rosette with both hands, and murmured and chanted: "In this Eastern world of Changle, there is the great benevolent Taiyi who saves the suffering Tianzun, and his incarnations are as numerous as the number of sands in Hengsha. , or live in the heavenly palace, or come down to the human world, or live in the hell, or capture the evil spirits, have immeasurable magical powers, endless merits, seek out the voice to save the suffering, respond to things randomly, I tell you now... you should recite this sutra and recite the holy name. That is to say, you can be freed from suffering, ascend to the Pure Land, be liberated forever, be free and at ease, live longer and longer, and all adversities can be eliminated."
After reciting these, Xu Xiake was already covered with sweat. He wiped his forehead and explained: "This is the "Taiyi Sutra of Saving Suffering and Protecting the Body." Master Yunyang said that reciting the sutra can eliminate disasters and save people. Death, although I don’t know what the use of this is, it’s all done to the best of my ability. If it’s really useful, I hope they will have a good pregnancy in the next life and don’t have to suffer in the human world again.”
They were just frightened by these people when they saw a cloud of smoke rushing into the air from the hole and exploding above the sinkhole.
When Mrs. Zhang saw the turmeric smoke in the distance, her eyes lit up: "It seems that there is something going on under the sinkhole."
Yue Guanchao saw the old witch running past with her men and horses. He was afraid that these people were cheating, so he also entangled his companions to follow him. When everyone crossed the meadow and returned to the sinkhole, he saw soldiers and bandits climbing up on ropes.
"What's going on? But there's danger underground?"
Mrs. Zhang thought about what happened in the meadow and thought something strange had happened under the sinkhole.
"Old madam, it's okay under the sinkhole. It's just that the water in the lake seems to be disappearing and the water level has been lowering."
Listening to the situation in front of her, Song Siyuan remembered the prophecy of the Soul Palace, and her eyes lit up: "When the time comes, the Soul Palace will reappear."
They knew that the time for the opening of the Soul Palace had arrived, and quickly climbed down the sinkhole with the rope.
When everyone stood by the lake, they could see that the water level of the lake was indeed lowering. The lake, which should have been level with the river bank, had dropped half a meter deep, exposing the canine river bank.
At this moment, the red sun is about to rise, and the sky is golden. To the human eye, the light hole looks like the sun hanging on the top of the cave. Golden light blooms from the cave, and even the surface of the lake seems to be plated with gold and silver, trembling endlessly.
Anyone who sees this scene will find it magical!
After the lake receded, things that were originally buried deep under the lake gradually emerged from the lake.
Yue Guanchao and the others were approaching the edge of the lake shore. They could already see two bronze statues with different shapes on the left and right of the ancient locust tree. Their heads had emerged from the water, rising up little by little like bamboo shoots emerging from the water.
One is similar to the shape of Buddha and Bodhisattva.
This statue has a head full of curly buns, slender eyebrows, round face, thick lips and earlobes, and a wide and plump body. He is wearing a misty cassock with flowing robes and full of close-fitting patterns. He is holding a seal in his hand. His face is sacred and compassionate. Behind him The Thousand Hands are like a peacock with its wings spread out, with three arms stretched up and down. Each arm is either lifting, holding, or hanging. It has different shapes and holds different magic weapons.
It looks like a Buddha with thousands of hands and eyes!
However, after being soaked in water for too long, the red and green patina was densely spread all over, and they immediately felt like a thousand-armed evil ghost. They always felt that there was a blurred eye staring at them.
As for the other bronze statue, it looks much stranger than Buddha!
